Guild Survey

As part of my survey of the playerbase, I contacted as many Leaders of major Guilds as I could find, based on reputation and size. Of those contacted, 29 Guilds responded. If you were not contacted, and wish to be included in the future, let me know.

The faction split in terms of number of guilds is very similar to the factional breakdown of the players themselves. However, if the total members are taken into account (from the in-game Guild menu), then the Loyalists are a much larger proportion – of the guilds surveyed, more than half the population is Loyalist.

In terms of size, most guilds are either in the 21-40 active members category, or have more than 50 active members. Future surveys will break this down further. Most guilds have seen good growth in recent months.

The main focus of the guilds has, of course, been general PvP, but 11 of them focused on taking the fight to at least one of the factions specifically. 8 of them had some sort of focus on PvE. Only one guild mentioned participating in official Guild vs Guild Competitive play, so at least one Guild has been missed from this survey. Several other, though, did mention doing unofficial Guild vs Guild combat in the course of normal play, and enjoyed doing so. Competitive play is something that is underused, could become more popular if the mechanism for organising it was simplified. Several guilds have seen their activity and enthusiasm dropping off lately, and two of them are largely inactive until more content is in game.

Guild Listing

The following is a list of the Guilds that have participated in the survey. Again, if you’re not on this list and think you should be, just let me know. Guilds are grouped by Faction and listed in the order they responded.

Lords of Arkhona (LoA)
